Bare Metal
Server is a cloud service delivery model that exclusively allocates all computing resources of physical hardware to a single tenant, without the intervention of a virtualization layer (Hypervisor).
Hybrid Cloud
| Aspect | Bare Metal Server | Virtual Machine (VM) |
| Performance | Exclusively utilizes all server resources | Virtualizes part of host resources to serve users |
| Resource Overhead | Has almost no resource overhead | Has relatively low resource overhead |
| Hardware Compatibility | Offers stronger hardware compatibility | Offers insufficient hardware compatibility (due to virtualization) |
| Network Resources | Provides fully dedicated network resources | Provides shared network resources in most scenarios |
| Security | Ensures higher security | Ensures relatively secure environments (via resource isolation) |
| Cost-Effectiveness | Is relatively costly | Is relatively economical |
| Others | Supports deployment of nearly all business types | Supports deployment of only some specific business functions (requiring Bare Metal Servers and not supporting virtualized environments) |
